Embodiment Construction

[0024]FIG. 1 shows a connector 7 in the form of a partially exploded representation with an electric cable 6, a coupling ring 5 that is pushed on said cable, a sealing insert 4 and a cable guide part 1 that is also referred to as a splicing ring, as well as a plug contact insert 3, in which not-shown electric contacts are arranged.

[0025]The cable guide part 1 features several specially shaped through-openings 13 in its interior, wherein one individual electric conductor contacted by an electric contact needs to be respectively inserted into said through-openings.

[0026]A contact element realized in the form of a wall segment 2 is also assigned to the cable guide part 1, wherein said wall segment occupies a recessed semicircle of the cable guide part and can be tilted radially outward about an acutely angled edge 29 within the angular range of the recessed section of the cable guide part.

[0027]A zone 28 with a wedge angle of 30° formed by the acutely angled edge 29 is required in orde...

Abstract

In order to connect the shielding (62) of an electric cable (6) to a metallic connector (7), the invention proposes an electrically non-conductive cable guide part (1) that features a wall segment (2) of an electrically conductive material that needs to be laterally open sectionally.
In this case, the shielding (62) of the electric cable (6) lying in the interior (12) is connected to a corresponding mating connector by means of the wall segment (2) and an electrically conductive connector sleeve (31) surrounding the connector.

Description

BACKGROUND OF THE INVENTION[0001]1. Field of the Invention[0002]The invention pertains to a contact element for connecting the shielding of an electric cable to a connector.[0003]A contact element of this type is required for easily contacting the shielding of a shielded cable with a connector to be shielded against electric interference signals.[0004]2. Description of the Related Art[0005]The braided shielding of an electric cable or conductor can be contacted with a connector housing to be shielded with a variety of known connectors.[0006]Different mechanical devices have been proposed in this respect, wherein DE 41 37 355 C2 discloses an electric connector for shielded cables, in which an electrically conductive elastomer part is provided for the electric connection between the shielding of the cable and the housing.[0007]DE 90 15 056 U1 discloses a circular electric connector that is impervious to water and high frequencies, wherein the shielding of the cable lies on an electric...
